The Reported Reason Why Bella Hadid & The Weeknd Broke Up Is SO Relatable

The Hadid sisters are making some serious dating headlines these days — first, Gigi caused a stir when she was spotted on a potential date with former Bachelorette contestant Tyler Cameron, and now, all eyes are on Bella due to her reported breakup. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, fam, but Bella Hadid and The Weeknd have split once again — almost exactly one year after they had gotten back together. And the reported reason why Bella Hadid and The Weeknd broke up is actually so common, not to mention understandable. (Elite Daily has reached out to both stars’ representatives and did not hear back in time for publication.)

So, why did they end their on-again, off-again relationship this time? Apparently, distance was the main culprit.

"They are in different places right now, physically and mentally," an exclusive source told E! News. "Bella is prepping for her fashion week commitments and Abel is working on his music and his upcoming acting debut."

It totally makes sense, TBH. When you and your partner have conflicting schedules and you’re constantly traveling from coast to coast, it can obviously be somewhat challenging to maintain a relationship. Hadid is gearing up for all the Fashion Week madness, which begins in New York on Sept. 5. Meanwhile, The Weeknd's new album (his first since 2016) is about to drop before the end of the year, and his first movie, thriller Uncut Gems, is about to hit theaters in December. I mean — how is anyone supposed to uphold a relationship under those conditions? In the interview, the source mentioned that the pair became increasingly isolated from one another, and that caused some tension in their relationship.

"They have been arguing a lot recently,” they added, according to E! News.

Clearly, it’s been a rollercoaster ride for this couple — and there’s no telling if they’ll eventually find a way back into each others’ arms. After all, the duo has split for practical reasons like distance and busy schedules before, and given that they were able to overcome those obstacles, what’s to say they won’t give it another shot down the line? In the meantime, let’s all take a moment to remember their legendary run-in on the Victoria’s Secret runway (see above), during which Hadid lived out all our fantasies about looking smoking hot when we run into our ex. Here’s hoping that when they do inevitably cross paths, it’s not an awkward encounter on a glittery catwalk — and as for the potential future for their romance, in the wise words of Bebe Rexha, “If it’s meant to be, it’ll be.”
